The Achievement Network (ANet) is pleased to share its paper, “Focusing on the How: Guidance for School and District Leaders on Supporting Teachers Through the Transition to the Common Core,” recently released at an event co-sponsored with The Aspen Institute Education & Society Program in Washington, D.C. The insights of the paper are drawn from ANet’s work with hundreds of schools and districts across the country that are proving it is possible to make a strong and successful transition to the Common Core.
ANet’s paper shares case studies and resources for school and district leaders to support their transition to the Common Core, including:
- A table of great Common Core resources
- Guiding questions to help reflect on progress in the transition to the Common Core
- Insights from schools and districts making strong progress in their transition to the Common Core
The Aspen Institute also released new Common Core implementation tools and resources for teachers and school leaders at the event:
- Implementation of the Common Core State Standards: A Transition Guide for School-Level Leaders
- The Role of Instructional Leadership Teams (ILTs) and Looking at Student Work (LASW)
- Tools for Teachers: Engaging in Academic Writing
